== Main Cast ==
=== Denam Pavel (Denim Powell)/Denam {{spoiler|Morne}}/(Denim {{spoiler|Mown}}[[File:Denam 5794.jpg|frame]] ===
{{quote|"There is blood on my hands, how long till it lies on my heart?"}}
Line 15:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Denam has his moments along the game.
** Special mention goes to the original version of his first battle with Barbas:
{{quote|'''Barbas''':
{{quote|'''Denam''': That's the same thing your dead friend said.}}
** The remake has Denam not mincing words with Orgeau at Chapter 3L:
Line 32:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Near the start of the final chapter, Denam is given the standard [[Heroic BSOD]] upon hearing about his true heritage, {{spoiler|made worse when Olivya confronts him with more revelations even though his father just died}}. Fortunately, he quickly snaps out of it to further uphold his beliefs.
* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: Denam can be given this treatment {{spoiler|by disobeying the Duke's orders near the end of the first chapter. Then there's the ending where he's assassinated, should his popularity with the people gets low and Catiua is not there to take the throne}}.
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: In the Lawful route, {{spoiler|Denam justifies his involvement in the slaughter of Balmamusa to unite the Walister under the Duke's banner}}. Eventually, this leads him to be [[The Atoner]] right {{spoiler|after Vyce saves his [[Ass Pull|ass]]}}.
** Later he admits having blood on his hands, but this time in a tone as to rally people together: "I certainly cannot condemn you".
* [[Improbable Age]]: Noted by many NPCs as looking scarcely old enough to shave.
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Denam literally becomes one in the beginning of Chapter 4 due to his change in wardrobe. In the original game, it also provides him with enhanced stat growth upon leveling up.
* [[Little Hero, Big War]]: He starts out as a little hero who only encounters small parts of the big war, much like Ramza in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'', but becomes a much bigger hero by Chapter 4 as he starts making huge changes among the Islands.
* [[Magic Knight]]: The Lord class in the original game allows Denam to cast [[White Magic|healing magic]] while kicking ass at the same time. The remake turns this [[Up to Eleven]] by enabling him to use almost all of the abilities already learned from other classes, including ''every type of magic''.
* [[Master Of All]]: In the remake, his Lord class becomes [[Game Breaker|horribly overpowered]]. He not only has the [[Dual Wield]] from the original; he gains access to ''every single spell in the game'' and '''''every command skill he masters in other classes'''''.
* [[Nice Guy]]: It sometimes leads him to being a [[Dogged Nice Guy]] to Catiua and Vyce on the Neutral and Chaotic routes.
* [[No Place For Me There]]: {{spoiler|Denam leaves Valeria at the end, thinking [[These Hands Have Killed|he's killed so many people]] over the course of the Heim Conflict that his presence would only hinder his sister's new reign of peace over the islands. He goes to Xenobia at Lanselot's suggestion.}}
* [[Not So Different]]: Used against Denam by Xaebos and Balxephon in the Lawful route.
** A more optimistic version of this trope can be used by Denam to recruit certain characters in the same route.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Although Denam may come across as stoic and calm to some people (particularly Deneb), he does have his moments of being emotional from time to time. {{spoiler|Most notably when his father dies, where even in the first version of the game, there was a portrait for Denim crying just for that one scene. Then in the second version, the portrait of him crying is even more detailed}}.
* [[These Hands Have Killed]]: While killing Galgastani troops never seemed to bother Denam, he immediately invokes this trope {{spoiler|right after slaughtering the civilians of Balmamusa or killing his own compatriots to hold off the massacre}}.
** {{spoiler|This is also what causes Denam to [[Walking The Earth|go to Xenobia at Lanselot's suggestion]]: his killcount leads him to think [[No Place For Me There|his presence and fame would harm Catiua's newly-installed peaceful reign]].}}
* [[Think Nothing of It]]: Be fully assured that Denam's not in this for fame, fortune or power. He only wants the war to end and that's it.
* [[Time Travel]]: The Chariot mechanic in the remake is heavily implied to be an ability of his, to the point that not only he can alter the course of a battle, he can also ''access different timelines'' and, as shown in CODA, {{spoiler|''fix certain events''}}.
* [[Underdogs Never Lose]]: No one expected a mere resistance fighter to ascend that high on the food chain, did they?
* [[Walking the Earth]]: {{spoiler|In the ending where Catiua becomes Queen of Valeria, he goes to Xenobia where Lanselot originally came from.}}
* [[We Cannot Go on Without You]]: If he dies/loses all his lives, it's game over.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:
** Denam gets plenty of this especially on the Lawful route, {{spoiler|as he's responsible for the death of five thousand citizens in Balmamusa}}.
** It's also invoked when Denam {{spoiler|ends up killing members of the Order of Philaha in self-defense. Fortunately, this can be avoided by removing his equipment and sending him alone to the south gate}}.
** Diego states that Denam [[Destructive Savior|is the cause of all the hungry war orphans hanging around Port Omish]]. He has no denying for those words.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: He starts out as a naïve idealist, but his views may vary depending on the choices he makes.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Denam proves himself to be a master tactician through the course of the game, and a lot more responsible and level-headed than his sister.
* [[Young and in Charge]]: Though it initially starts off as a publicity stunt to draw in new recruits, Denam along with his friends are made official knights after rescuing the leader of the Resistance. Many NPCs comment on how Denam looks far too young to be in charge as well. {{spoiler|He eventually comes to lead the Resistance after Ronwey (and anyone else with the reputation and rank to lead) ends up dead}}.
=== Catiua Pavel (Kachua Powell) {{spoiler|Versalia Oberyth (Bersalia Overis)}}[[File:Catiua 5734.jpg|frame]] ===
{{quote|"Promise you’ll never leave your sister."}}
Denam’s sister and [[Team Mom]] of the [[Two Guys and a Girl|Golyat Trio]], Catiua fights only to keep her brother safe from harm even if it means willing to break her normally pacifistic nature just to stay by his side in the war. Upon the death of their mother, Catiua took it upon herself to fill the void left behind and raise her only sibling. She is also a priestess, trained in the ways of the divine by her father.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Annoying Older Sibling]]: It's telling that Denam has problems putting up with her attitude for a portion of the game.
* [[Badass Preacher]]: Catiua's exclusive starting class Priest is one of the few classes that can use offensive divine magic.
*
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: {{spoiler|Her very ''existence'' can open a Chaos Gate under the Hanging Gardens and the Palace of the Dead. Why is that? It's because King Dorgalua thought she was dead; he tried to do an [[Orphean Rescue]] and locked the door to the Underworld with her as the key because that would be both his way out, and a way to stop other things to get out. The fact that she wasn't dead ]]Gone Horribly Wrong|made things infinitesimally worse for him]].}}
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Partially subverted by Catiua who doesn't seem to care much about anything other than Denam and herself. She comes to grow out of this by the end.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Vyce chastises her for sweet-talking the Xenobians into helping them out. In the first version of the game,
* [[Black Magic|Black Mage]]: Catiua's final class allows her to make full use of every elemental magic available (including the powerful draconic spells). The remake didn't change much of this.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: Heavily implied on Catiua's part in the first version of the game, but made less-emotional and more passive-aggressive in the second version. In general, her motivation for {{spoiler|doing all that crazy stuff like betraying Denam and joining the Dark Knights}} is linked to her wanting to be with him.
* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|If Denam succeeds at talking her out of her [[Face-Heel Turn]], complete with running make-up and falling to her knees. She's been your haughty, possessive older sister for the whole game and then she just suddenly becomes a vulnerable little girl who regrets what she has done and begs his brother's forgiveness.}}
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the Chaos route, when Xapan kidnaps her at Rhime. This condition only lasts for a few missions though.
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Once she thinks that Denam has abandoned her in favor of pursuing revolution, she becomes desperate and ends up joining the Dark Knights. If you run the wrong dialogue after fighting Tartaros in Barnicia, [[Driven to Suicide|she will stab herself in front of Denam]].}}
*
* [[Evil Makeover]]: {{spoiler|During her time with the Dark Knights, she dons a new black outfit, puts on a darker shade of lip color, and changes to an evil version of her original class.}}
* [[Face-Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|After leaving Denam's party in Chapter 3, she's coaxed by Tartaros into joining the Dark Knights when he tells her of [[Heroic Bastard|her true heritage]].}}
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Some of the promo artworks depict Catiua holding a sword, but her in-game class forces her to wield staves and cudgels instead.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: How to {{spoiler|stop her from committing suicide, as well as keeping her out of the preceding battle against Lanselot Tartaros in Barnicia Castle
*
* [[Heroic Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Catiua is the illegitimate daughter of King Dorgalua and the Queen's most trusted handmaiden Mannaflora. Being the only surviving heir of Dorgalua, she is the only one who can unite the kingdom without any unfortunate repercussions}}.
*
* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: In the PSP version of the game, Catiua's the only playable healer who can cast offensive holy magic in battle.
*
* [[I Have Nothing to Say to That]]: Invoked in the remake's Chaotic route when Vyce accuses Catiua for standing by Denam regardless of his decision at Balmamusa.
* [[The Medic]]: This is her primary role at first.
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: {{spoiler|Catiua's necklace is actually proof of her being the illegitimate daughter of King Dorgalua. The blue one was in the event that the baby was a boy}}.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Catiua pretty much raised Denam after their mother died.
*
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: She will always try to find workarounds, or methods that involve a lesser amount of spilled blood.
* [[Thicker Than Water]]: Catiua is a staunch believer of this trope and {{spoiler|the acknowledgement that she had been taking the idea too far is a major part of her development as a character}}.
